A Wes Cougar Carr/Jessica Mauboy Knowles Duet May Be On The Cards!

Tremendous news from the world of Australian Idol alumni! Apparently Defamer Australia’s best buddy Wes Carr and R&B superstar Jessica Mauboy might end up recording a duet sooner rather than later!

This revelation comes from their manager David Campion.

The Idol duo’s legendary music manager, David Campion, has hinted the two might perform together. Both Wes and Jess performed solo at the NRA Design Awards on the Gold Coast last week and David, who counts several former Idol-ers among his stable, admits he would like to see the pair share the stage.

“I would love to see that happen and I’m trying to talk them into it,” David says. “But I think it’s a matter of finding the right song.”

The Advertiser has quickly jumped in with a suggestion.

What about the George Michael/Aretha Franklin classic I Knew You Were Waiting?

Well, it does seem like the obvious choice now, doesn’t it?

It seems a duet won’t happen until Jessica has completed promotional duties in Japan, so we’ve got a while to come up with something better. Any ideas, Defamer Australia readers? Let’s be honest, no matter what Wes Cougar Carr and Jessica Mauboy Knowles shit out in the studio, it’s going to be better than Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Shannon Noll’s version of Don’t Give Up, to which a nation screamed in response “No, no! Give up! It’s not worth it! Step away from the mics!”. Even The Bass, god love her, allegedly admitted that it was, ahem, a lapse in judgement. Still, all for a good cause…
